CANCER CURE MAYBE? Your thoughts....

NaturalBornKiller · Jan 31, 2007

Check out this article about a chemical called dichloroacetate (DCA) that seems to have promising hopes to help cure cancer.

Big buisness - Big government - and powerful Pharmaceutical companies would NEVER let a simple drug that cant be patented shut down a multi billion dollar a year thriving cancer research industry. Just think.... how many jobs and how many dollars would be lost if they actually found the cure for cancer? The CEOs of the pharmaceutical would never allow it public…. Do you realize how much money is generated from cancer never being cured? Its quiet sad to think/know people suffer the horribly painful death from cancer yet there is a simple cure that cant generate billions of dollars so its quietly sweep under the rug…. Think about that

Is it possible to actually buy this drug now?

I honestly believe that they prolly have a cure for most cancers now. But the Smith Kleins, Pfizers and other large pharm. companies have bought and paid for the rights to these cures, why? It would cost them billions in lost revenue from the miriad of cancer concoctions they have now. It makes for interesting conversation. I love conspiracy theories.

I read about this as well, here's the post from the U of A:

Investigators at the University of Alberta have recently reported that a drug previously used in humans for the treatment of rare disorders of metabolism is also able to cause tumor regression in a number of human cancers growing in animals. This drug, dichloroacetate (DCA), appears to suppress the growth of cancer cells without affecting normal cells, suggesting that it might not have the dramatic side effects of standard chemotherapies.

At this point, the University of Alberta, the Alberta Cancer Board and Capital Health do not condone or advise the use of dichloroacetate (DCA) in human beings for the treatment of cancer since no human beings have gone through clinical trials using DCA to treat cancer. However, the University of Alberta and the Alberta Cancer Board are committed to performing clinical trials in the immediate future in consultation with regulatory agencies such as Health Canada. We believe that because DCA has been used on human beings in Phase 1 and Phase 2 trials of metabolic diseases, the cancer clinical trials timeline for our research will be much shorter than usual.

I agree with ya man,

I would bet my left nut this is the case, the major drug companys pretty much run shit here in this country (along with oil). Its pretty sad that people die these agonizing painfull deaths and there is a cure but it is suppressed due to $... I kind of get into these conspiracy theorys myself, makes you think....
